What are the Techniques Used to Achieve Enhanced Detection Limits?
Several advanced techniques are employed to achieve enhanced detection limits in nanotechnology:
- Nanosensors: These sensors use nanomaterials to improve sensitivity and selectivity. Examples include carbon nanotubes and quantum dots. - Scanning Probe Microscopy: Techniques like Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) provide high-resolution imaging and detection of single molecules. - Lab-on-a-Chip: These miniaturized devices integrate several laboratory functions on a single chip, allowing for rapid and sensitive analysis.
